Burned By You

(Verse 1) You were the fire I never feared, A spark that brightened my darkest year. But now I’m left with the ashes you left behind, A heat that still burns but feels colder over time. You taught me how to love with every part of me, Then walked away, leaving only what I couldn’t see.
(Pre-Chorus) I keep searching for the pieces that you took, Chasing a future that we never had, just a broken look.
(Chorus) I’m burned by you, but I keep trying to heal, With every scar, I still remember how it felt to feel. I’m burned by you, but I’ll never forget, The warmth you gave, though it led to regret. I’m burned by you, but I can’t let it go, Even though you left me with nothing to show.
(Verse 2) You were the storm that I wanted to chase, But now I’m lost in the winds you left in your wake. I built my world around what you once gave, But now I’m drowning in the space that you made. I was blind to the danger, thinking it was love, Now I’m paying the price for the push and the shove.
(Pre-Chorus) I keep holding on to what I thought was true, But the harder I try, the more I fall through.
(Chorus) I’m burned by you, but I keep trying to heal, With every scar, I still remember how it felt to feel. I’m burned by you, but I’ll never forget, The warmth you gave, though it led to regret. I’m burned by you, but I can’t let it go, Even though you left me with nothing to show.
(Bridge) Maybe one day I’ll understand, Why I kept holding on with trembling hands. But for now, I’ll keep the fire alive, Even if it’s the one thing that won’t let me survive.
(Outro) I’m burned by you, but I still stand tall, Even when your love is the one thing I can’t recall. I’m burned by you, but I’ll rise again, Stronger from the ashes, I’ll learn to mend.

Burned by you

🎵 You Gotta Hold On
by The Mainside Project

We been runnin’ in circles, girl, I see it in your eyes
You got a million questions, but you never ask me why
Late nights, heart fights, baby, this ain’t how we shine
You used to be my peace, now you barely say you're fine

But I know love don’t fade that easy
And I know it still hits you deeply
We got somethin’ people dream of
So don’t you ever think of givin’ up

You gotta hold on, even when it’s hard
Even when the sky falls, I’ll be where you are
We can make it through this, girl, we’re way too strong
Don’t let go now, baby, you gotta hold on

I remember late June, dancin' barefoot in the rain
Now we barely touch, and I can feel you pull away
I ain’t perfect, but my heart is in the right place
You and me, girl, we’re more than just a phase

I still see the fire when you look at me
Still feel the magic, even when we disagree
Don't let a moment steal a lifetime
Girl, we’re better when we realign

You gotta hold on, even when it’s hard
Even when the sky falls, I’ll be where you are
We can make it through this, girl, we’re way too strong
Don’t let go now, baby, you gotta hold on

If you need space, I’ll give you room
But I ain’t walkin’ out on you
I’ll be the shoulder, be the truth
You just gotta believe in us too

Ooh, you gotta hold…
Girl, I know it's cold…
But storms don't last…
And we got a love built to last

You gotta hold on, even when it’s tough
Even when it feels like love ain't enough
I ain't goin' nowhere, I'ma stay this strong
Don’t let go now, baby, you gotta hold on

You Gotta Hold On

Things I Didn’t Mean

Say You'll Stay

“Through the Looking Glass” is about feeling lost and searching for love in all the wrong places. Using the Alice in Wonderland metaphor, it explores how chasing love to fill a void can feel like falling deeper into a dream or even madness. The song’s message is that true love has to start within; otherwise, you’re trapped in illusions, clinging to people who can’t save you. It’s both a cry for connection and a journey toward self-acceptance.
